Ensemble Fantasticus plays the sonata a 2 in a minor BuxWV 272. Rie Kimura, baroque violin - Robert Smith, viola da gamba - Guillermo Brachetta, harpsichord.
Buxtehude è unico, mai scontato, appassionato,..sa toccare le corde più intime dell'animo..e lo fa senza lo sdolcinamento dei romantici, ma con uno stile purissimo e delicato e potente nello stesso momento ...è un grandissimo,
I once heard a very eminent musicologist say that if Buxtehude hadn't existed Bach as we know and revere him wouldn't have existed either. This glorious performance certainly bears that out.
Superlative as this sounds, words fail me so all I can is "Excellent!" Such a tight performance and a great sounding room! I hope that you realize how fortunate you all are to be able to perform such works. Speaking as one who probably will never realize his musical potential as a keyboardist/continuo/composer, I envy you: in a healthy way. You are so lucky that you get to do this as your life's work. Cherish it as I'm sure you do. Thank you very much for this video!!!
Il y a 35 ans la musique Baroque s’invitait dans mon environnement Aujourd'hui , en 2 secondes , je reconnais ces mélodies ô combien bienfaitrices et lumineuses .
The NEW recording from FANTASTICUS, called "Sonnerie & Other Portraits" will be released on 1st September 2013. It is available from the Resonus Classics website, or all the usual places. It features Marais, Rameau, Leclair and others.
Incroyablement beau. TOUT est réussi ici. Un des plus beaux videos sur youtube. Mille fois merci pour l'avoir posté. Je ne me lasse pas de cette merveille.
WOW this is so beautiful. Thank you! I'm a big fan of Marin and St. Colombe, and this is exceptional as well. I agree with an earlier post, it almost brought tears to my eyes. It is so passionate. And the players are so good. Kimura-San is an excellent performer, when she closes here eyes I can feel her love for what she plays. Also, the editing and camera work is the best I've seen in a performance. Great Job!! Looking for more.
A fantastic performance of a wonderful piece! Bravo. side note - did anyone else notice the interesting chord right at 4:36? The violinist plays a 7th - B& A, whereas the music actually has a fifth, D&A (which makes more sense over the f# in the bass, leading to the G minor chord.)
Buxtehude did not travel far or very much at all but his music and reputation as a skilled organist did. He wrote cantatas that were a prelude to Bach in this field and the latter composer went out of his way to hear him play though they probably never met because he was so in awe of him.
DIETRICH BUXTEHUDE { BAD OLDESLOE , HOLSTEIN 1637~1707 LUBECK } ~ SONATA A 2 { BUXWV 272 } ~ ENSEMBLE FANTASTICUS ~. Magnifique ensemble et interprétation de cette SONATA de BUXTEHUDE grandiose bravo. Un des grands compositeurs de la musique baroque. Ou il passe les trente première année de sa vie au Danemark ou il est formé probablement par son père organiste. Sa glorieuse carrière démarre en Allemagne ou il s'installe à LUBECK le 11 avril 1668, ou il occupera trois postes d'organiste a HELSINGBORG, SAINTE-MARIE d' ELSENEUR et à SAINTE-MARIE de LUBECK ou il finit ses jours. Il institue les veillées musicale de l'Avent ABENDMUSICHEN. En 1703 MATTHESON et HAENDEL lui rende visite à LUBECK, il entretient de fructueuse amitiés musicale avec JOHANN ADAM REICKEIN. Il fut en son temp le compositeur le plus célèbre en Allemagne et un musicien au rayonnement européen. Il fut surnommé le maitre de LUBECK. Merci pour ce chef-d'oeuvre de BUXTEHUDE grandiose Eternel. Video sublime.
Le grand Bach est resté 4 mois chez Buxtehude entre 1705-1706 où il a fait une participation remarquée aux AbendMusiken. Il a fait 400 km à pied pour rencontrer le maître... Il a vu ensuite Johann Adam Reicken à Hambourg avant de rentrer à Arnstadt. Le voyage à Lubeck a complètement changé sa manière d'improviser et de jouer. Le maître devait avoir vraiment quelque chose de spécial pour que Bach reste si longtemps.
In contrast to Bach Buxtehude is full of spontaneity and freedom which is unbelievably well understood by the Japanese lady. The normal Japanese performance is often only too exact and boring lacking them. She is as a Japanese einmalig, eccecionale . Mi sento perfettamente liberato ascoltando questo tipo di musica.Buxtehude e' veramente sopra dell'ordine anche al-di-la di caos. Che musica meravigliosa!
That doesn't take away the feeling of spontaneity, it's easy to imagine that someone could improvise over a ground bass in particular :) And no reason to get worked up :)
Tokinori Yanagita In fact, Bach used that phrases because Buxtehude was the idol of Bach, he did a lot of kilometers (sometimes walking) just for hear him.
@ 6.50 and further, if Rie Kimura can play this well then she surely could play the whole rosary sonata's by H.I.F von Biber, Guillermo would be super great to play the continuo.... "breakfast with Biber" It would be great to hear you play that !! 2 Hours+ sheer delight.
6 or 7 string viola gamba . Why did the cello have to limit itself to 4. The newer violins have 5,6, even 7 strings but alllower range , Why no High B string for violin.I'm sure its all been triedand harmonics are especially wonderful so its ok!
